Welcome to another Paper Cupcakes Blog Hop!  Today we are featuring the “Mother's Day” key of the Cricut ARTISTE collection.

Since my CTMH team is called the "Paper Cupcakes" and since I love giving goodies, here is my little Mason Jar gone Cupcake rendition!  Paint the lid of your jar and let dry.  Cut a 2" styrofoam ball in half and glue to the top.  Glue/pin our Colonial White Rosette Ribbon to the top for your icing!  I added a tiny red christmas ornament from my stash for the cherry.  Cut your Cupcake wrapper at 2".  I used our lovely Chantilly paper and zip strip!  Add your greeting on a plant stake and secure.  Fill the jar with treats and gifts!.  

Who doesn't love a little {jewelry} & chocolate?

I hope this has inspired you to play!  Make a dozen and have them on hand for any occasion!
